Hello Guys,
I bought this 86 Subaru XT about 3 months ago from a ladywho had not driven it in 7 years. She said it died on her one day and a puff of black smoke came out the exhaust pipe. Over the last 3 months I have corrected the positioning of the timing belts, installed a new fuel pump because the original one was burnt out. And recently I replaced the Oil pump because the other one had no pressure because one mechanic told me that some vehichles have a safety feature to shut down the engine if oil pressure ever drops. I have also replaced the ignition coil and am getting plenty of fire to all four plugs, but my injectors have always been dry. So, I recently have tried to discover why I have not been getting enough volts to the injectors and they all seem to fall within the correct Ohm range. Plus, I have looked at my Hayne's Manual wiring diagram and the injectors are in a loop with the computer, injector test socket, and fusible link off of the battery. Therefore, I have talked to different mechanics and they tell me that the computer serves as a ground for the injectors and controls the electronic pulse to them. Maybe there is another sensor that is signaling my computer to not send enough voltage to the injectors. Oh, I almost forgot. If I put a little gas straight into the air intake the engine seems to run for a few seconds until the fuel poured in runs out. I appreciate any further assistance that you can give me.
Thanks,
Dan
